So I think that the meaning of Nya's walk everyday means that she may not like walking 8 hours each day, but she knows that her family needs that water. I think I would feel extremely exhausted when I get home, and not want to do other tasks I need to do.

For Nya, water is the cause of a painful journey. It's what she can never get enough of. It keeps her
away from dreams and school. To me, water is beautiful. It comes out of a faucet. It's so common. But it keeps me alive.

Nya goes and gets water for her family and she wouldn't be able to survive with. People in our society today don't think about that because they already have everything supplied for them

# data[].attributes.body
The purpose of Nya's Journey every day is to try and stay alive and hydrated. If I had to do this every day I would probably refuse to do this because that is just my personality but I would be sore every day and would be hungry going on a journey like that and only get 8 hours of sleep and go back to being sore

The way she keeps on going is because he is used to his conditions. In the passage throughout the whole book so far, it describes what life is like in Sudan. Like on page 5, it shows gunshot sounds, which already shows danger. And on page 10, it says he was separated from his family from the war situations, like bombs and gunshots.

Water dictates Nya's life because she has to collect water for her family every day. She doesn't have a choice if she wants to stay alive along with her family. If I were to need water I can just go to a store and buy some but Nya and the others can't so I am very lucky to not have to travel every day for more than 6 hours

Water dictates Nya's life because, it's almost all she does. So far in the book that's all we've seen/read her doing. My life without water, or our lives, would be so different. We along with most Americans use water as something normal, and take it for granted.

Salva was a strong boy he knew he had something big or important and he wouldn't give up. He just kept going. Although the his group left him he still kept strong and didn't give up. And know he is a man that is a big part in helping other people that went through his same problems in life. He didn't give up and worked hard and now he is a very successful

Question 1 -  The purpose of Nya's journey everyday is so her and her family can drink water throughout the day. I would feel extremely tired when I came home and I wouldn't enjoy doing it.
Question 2 - Water dictates Nya's life because if she didn't get water everyday, she would have to face many challenges such as dehydration. Water impacts my life by not having to worry about waking up and not having clean water to drink.
Question 3 -
~ Brave - Salva is leaving his country thinking that he will never see his family again. He also left with a group of people he didn't know but are from the same tribe. "Where is my family, where is my family."
~ Patient - Salva is being very patient in the story by walking, for long periods of time everyday, knowing that it will take many months to get to Eitheopia. "Men and woman, boys and girls, old and young, walking, walking.... walking to nowhere."

Q1: Nya went to get water, for her family everyday. If I were Nya, I would not like it at first, especially for the 2nd & 3rd days because of being really sore, but after a month or two, I would do it without thinking about it.

Q2: Water dictates Nya's life because she needs to get water everyday, without choice.

Q3: For getting water everyday Salva must be: Brave, and strong. "He was alone" which means he must be brave to do that by yourself. "For three days, he fetched firewood from the bush and water from the pond." You must be strong to be able to push yourself to keep getting the firewood.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Salva is brave because the text says "He was alone" that means he was alone but he still continued on.He is smart because while he stayed with that lady he knew had to gather fire wood and get water the text says "For three days ,he fetched firewood from the bush and water from the pond.

The purpose of Nya's journey is to get water that isn't even clean. If I had to do this everyday I would probably not even be able to go that far on foot. I would also have no fun in life, just worry about being safe and getting water.

# data[].attributes.body
Question #2-
Water dictates Nya's life because it's hot and water cools her down. It also dictates their life because it takes time and it feels good when you get the water. Lastly there are a lot of thorns that she stepped on. They were littered on the ground.

Question #1-
Her purpose is to go get water for her family because the text said that she was holding a crate full of air and if it all went well it would take half the morning. If this was how my days went I would go crazy.

Question #3-
- Brave because he is running away without his family and with strangers during a war.

- Strong because he was really tired and he didn't give up he kept up with the other people that he was walking with.

Question #1

The purpose of Nya going on her journey is to go get water for her family.  If I spent my day getting water everyday I would be very tired and depressed because it is very hard to walk that far non stop.

Question #2

Water dictates Nya's life because she gets very tired and it takes a lot of time. "Heat. Time. And thorns." (Pg 1) This is very powerful because it took her all morning in the heat and then she gets dirty water. Later in the book on the start of chapter 2 "thorns littered the ground everywhere."(pg8) This means that it is even harder because the terrain is hard walk on.

Question #3

Character trait of Salva that allow him to keep going without his family is perseverance because in the artical  it says "...but now a deep buzzing pain in every part of him." (Pg 23) so that means he had to keep walking on an empty stomach and not knowing where his family is.

# data[].attributes.body
Question 2 water decides nyas life because she has to walk very far every day and it would take half the morning if she didn't stop on the way. Water dictates my life is that it's not that hard for me to get water because all I have to do is turn on the water fosset .

Question 2- nya gets water for 8 to 12 hours every day and we only turn on a faucet.

Question 3-she new she would find her family she cape going on

# data[].attributes.body
Nya gets water twice every day so their family won't dehydrate. If this was my life me and my younger sister would probably have To go every day to get water. Water affects Nyas family because if it's clean or dirty it affects their health and if there is little water if also affects their health. Salva is patient ( or that's what he says at least) in the text it says " I would not have been any trouble- I would not have complained!... What will I do now?" Salva is confident in himself the text says "His father always told him to act like a man-to follow the example of his older brothers and,in turn, set a goodexample  for the people of Kuol. Salva is brave. In the text it says " then he was running, too. Running as hard as he could, into the bush. Away from home.

Question1: Nya is going to get water every day for her and her family. In the book it said "she filled the container to the top with water." (P.14)It would have terrible the first few times then I would get used to it.

Question 2: water effects Nya's life by making her walk hours and hours each day to get it. "If she didn't stop it would still take her half the morning" while all we have to do is go turn on the facet.

Q.It effects her by not getting her needed education because she is always getting water that doesn't leave much time for learning. Well we have clean water which keeps us safe from disease that they get in Africa and we don't have to walk miles to get water we just turn on the faucet.

Q.1. Nya gets water for her cause they don't have a straight access to water. To me this wouldn't be something I would want to do because it is taking time away from my education and free time.

Q.3. He is determined, never gives up and keeps on powering through."Determined not to lag behind".

# data[].attributes.body
I think the reason and benefits of why she goes to the water everyday is so that her family
will have water and they won't be thirsty. The benifits are that she gets to spend time alone but the bad thing is the water may not be clean. Text evidence to support this is, "She untied it, scooped up the brown, muddy water, and drank." This shows that that the water isn't clean at all.
